I believe that you don’t always have to “reinvent the wheel” and it can be good to “share the wealth”, so when I read this great post I thought I would just reblog it so all of you can have this great information too.

Many people feel that with today’s hectic pace, it’s nearly impossible to eat healthy while working. Grabbing food on the go seems like the only option…or is it?

What if I told you that you could spend less time per week preparing healthy snacks and meals than you spend standing in lines, looking at menus, or sitting at drive-thru windows? It’s true. Whether you work in a brick-and-mortar office, a virtual office, or an office with wheels – there are ways to replace fast food with quick and healthy options. All it takes is a short shopping list and a quick store run once a week, and then 15 minutes a day of prep. You have 15 minutes, right? Here are 12 ideas to get you started on your new routine.

1. Keep a variety of nuts on hand. Make enough separate snack portions to last two weeks.

7. Kale salad lasts longer than salads with lettuce. Spend 15 minutes preparing it, and you’ll have lunch for the next 3 days.

8. Spend 15 minutes separating different types of canned beans into individual portions and then freezing them. This creates variety as well as easy protein options for future lunch salads.

9. Invest in unsweetened chocolateor unsweetened vanilla almond milk to satisfy your sweet tooth mid-day. If you would like a little more sweetness, add stevia. Don’t worry – stevia has no calories, comes from a plant, and has a glycemic index of zero. If you want to get really creative with your mid-day milk, liquid stevia now comes in a variety of flavors. Just 15 seconds to pour and stir.

10. Spend 15 minutes making a batch of healthier mini-muffins. Keep them frozen in individual portions, then take out a portion the night before you will eat it. This keeps you from eating too many goodies at one sitting.

11. Nori chips take only 15 minutes to bake. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a package of nori into strips and brush with sesame oil. Add onion powder, garlic powder, and/or and sesame seeds. These will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
